Fine dining institution Sidart reveals ‘Series’ menu and new direction for 2023

Sidart is one of seven New Zealand restaurants to make the La Liste Top 1000 restaurants this year, with a score of 89.5 out of a possible 100 and really focuses on produce and ingredients from Aotearoa.

Ponsonby’s Sidart has introduced a new ‘Series’ menu for the new year, increasing the number of dishes served and showcasing even more of the sensational ingredients and produce grown in Aotearoa.

Owned and operated by chef Lesley Chandra, the Ponsonby institution is offering three ‘Series’ menu options, all of which use contemporary cooking techniques to create small, artfully formed morsels for an elevated dining experience.

The Mini Series (9 Parts), Extended Series (12 Parts), and Complete Series (16 Parts) range in price from $160 to $210 per person and can be enjoyed over 90 minutes to three hours of exceptional dining.

Beyond the exceptional tasting menus, Sidart also offers options for those who don’t have time for a full tasting experience, or simply want to enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif or after-dinner digestif. Guests can sit at the bar, enjoy the view of the Auckland city skyline, and sip on expertly crafted cocktails featuring ingredients used throughout the Series menu paired with delicious canapés for $75 for two guests.
